Just picked up a 1971 Valco hawk. when I got her into the water there appears to be a small leak in the seam of the hull. I'm sure there are some rivets that are leaking as well, but that was my main leak. I had the boat on the water for about 4 hours and took on approx. 3 gal of water. My question is what is the best way to go about sealing the leaks. Second problem is that the boat was sitting for quite awhile on its top. Due to this it has dents in the aluminum below and above the waterline. I've read not to apply heat to remove the dents and then other say its ok as long as you stay well below melting. Ive tried the rubber mallet and support and these things are budging. What are me best options.
Thanks
